Looks like those over privileged "White devils" are at it again!

From the article:

The whiteness brandished by the anti-Muslim protesters - within a state where racism and xenophobia infamously thrive - was the most potent part of their protest.

Wow.

Of course, consider the source (al Jazeera). But if the "news" wanted to prove the point of some protesters, this was a good start.

While carrying weapons, organised, and seemingly ready to pounce on Muslim American counterprotesters, the anti-Muslim action aimed to cultivate and spread armed Islamophobic actions throughout the state. Friday's protest was hardly a rogue action, but on account of its head organiser, John Ritzheimer, the first of many.

This is the same mosque where the two terrorists worshiped that did their own attempt at a counter protest in Texas at a "Draw a cartoon of Mohammad", the two guys who were shot dead.
Sorry you worship with scumbags expect someone else to come along and call you out on it.
Oh and by the way, the death threats to Ritzheimer have lead to him putting his family in hiding and putting his house up for sale. Something about death threats and beheadings threatened.
Funny that when the shoes on the other foot, how that fits aint it?

Using the term "Islamophobic" is merely a way to control the topic. A phobia is a fear. This seems more like anger than fear. Using the term "Islamophobia" is inappropriate in this instance. After all, if anger, fear and hate were interchangeable, we wouldn't need three different words...

Like homophobia, the ignorant folks in the journalism industry think phobia means hate. I don't know when it started, but it drives me nuts. I bet if they read this they think I'm calling them rude since ignorant is losing its meaning as well. Remember the good Ole days when words meant something?

So that's the first I've seen the notion of brandishing whiteness. Quite creative I'll give them that.

Whenever I go to "Al Jizz" I feel like I've been on Stormfront. The blatant racism is astounding.

would like a article to say unlike colored privilege the muslims who come to kill everyone at these events which has been proven by Texas !

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

It's like the attack in Texas never happened. These people showed up out of the blue to protest a community center.

This was vividly evidenced on the violent crackdown on the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that swept through the US, and on Friday, police protection of the anti-Islam protesters in Phoenix.

"Violent crackdown"??? Sure you might get arrested if you concrete yourself in a drum on the highway- with BLM lawyers watching every action of the cops. And how many charges against protesters have been dropped? This is pure lunacy.

I'm starting to feel better about myself- I guess I am powerful . It's like the old joke of two Jewish farmers in Czarist Russia. One is reading the newspaper with an article with an Anti-semetic title. The reader is asked by his friend why is he reading such crap- and the reader responds that he wants to see how rich, powerful and scheming he is.

White men have freedom of speech more than others- yeah, right. Just try that out.

al jazeera is now streaming into US cable homes though and according to hillary the real news !!!!
